I am joining Mary at Little Red House for Mosaic Monday..Thank you Mary!

 

There were 4 girls in my family..so I have a little blingy  white Santa to symbolize the 4  of us…

table 1400

These 9 little bears represent the children of the 4 sisters.

One has a velvet robe, he represents my nephew who was hit by a car and died …He is always in our hearts.

My gkids love taking them off and putting them back..well they love taking them off..:)  And they are unbreakable.so it can’t hurt!!

The holidays evoke many memories..happy and sad…but bits of our past..

I hope this holiday season brings you many happy memories..and new ones to be created!

Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating!

Have a good week, take time to enjoy!  (she says as she stands knee deep in boxes..:  )table 1402

    I love the 4 snowmen and it is so neat that they represent you and your sisters! I love it! And they are adorable. As are your mice. I am so sorry about your nephew. That is so tragic. Christmas is a time to celebrate, but of course we remember those that are no longer with us to celebrate. Having them in our hearts really does help though.

    I love this post. Have a wonderful week. :-)

  4. What a great idea! I may have to copy this in some simple way...there is only 6 of us in our small family, but it still would be precious!

    It is always so important to remember those who have passed. They are family...

  10. I love your symbolic decorations, Kathleen! I didn't remember that you had a nephew who was killed. How sad and how sweet that you remember him that way each year.

    You don't even have snow on the ground!

    What a beautiful ecard link. It reminds me of the Jacquie Lawson-type cards. Very pretty!

  11. Kathleen, sweet post ... thank you for posting the link to the Ashland e-card ... very nice and I enjoyed interacting.

    The Santas and little bears are lovely mementos of you and your sisters and the four sisters' children. It's a lovely way for your four grandchildren to have a visual of their extended family (and fun to take on an off the shelf).

  12. This is the type of tradition that is important in a family. The young ones learn important lessons on being a family. You sister must be glad that her son is remembered with a bear right along with the other kids, always a part of the family.

  18. O, what a wonderful idea...
    I hope you won't mind if I, too, buy 3 white santas for the 3 girls in our family...then 11 little bears for the grands and 1 little white sheep for the great-grand. That is such a sweet idea...just love it..I so hope I can remember it...I have picked up so many ideas for next Christmas, my head is about to burst open and fall off...:(
    NOW, dear one, did you tell me 1 stick of butter to 12 oz of chocolate for the dipping of cookies?? Grands coming over next week to make cookies and dipping!!:)
